Actually, I did not know that Euros was considered a perjorative; it seemed natural like the currency. Point taken; I won't use it.

You passed over the numerous UN resolutions and the UN language authorizing action. What was to be done? Issue more resolutions? Probably yes in the UN mindset.

We've seen how effective such European favored tactics have been with Iraq's nuclear weapons program. The US agreed to let Europe carry the ball there. I'm sure there'll be a squeal heard across the pond when the US or a certain Middle Eastern military surrogate belatedly castrates Iraq's nuclear weapons program.

You DO remember that President Clinton's military intervention in Kosovo did NOT have UN authorization, don't you?

Ah, my bad. The rules changed at the millenium date? No. THAT was by a Democratic President beloved in Europe and had the support of most European nations, but not the UN. OK, I get it now.
